Open another TAB or console and the modem should be detected by: $ sudo wvdialconf Edit in your personal information, removing the ; < > symbols, with $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf Because /dev/pts/N ports are not yet sound competent, also add a line: Carrier Check = no Save. See the wvdial.txt about some exceptional cases, rarely cogent in Australia Do: $ ifconfig to check which COMM channels are active. Shut any except lo "loopback" with commands like: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down $ ifconfig again to check. If other channels are open DNS will fail for the coming ppp0 channel.
